Makeup Wars takes on BB Creams – Beauty Info Zone picks…

Makeup Wars has put me through the paces lately. They enticed me with taupe eyeshadow and got me hooked. Next they made us do a $20 challenge which actually was a blast. On to favorite summer lippie – easy peasy! After that we did our most expensive face – who knew I could put together a face worth over $1,600 just by opening drawers? I loved doing my favorite makeup brush and my favorite fall nail polish. I also loved putting together a fall look and got out those beautiful green eyeshadows. But then they started pushing me – favorite red lipstick from a woman who doesn’t really wear red lips; Halloween nail art which was a total disaster. But they’ve won me back with BB Creams. I own BB Creams as you can see from the picture below. I think they are the perfect solution to having a finished face for me in the summer. Of course now I have to pick a favorite. Let’s see if I can do that. It’s going to be hard because I really like all the BB Creams I’ve tried. There’s something positive about all of them and none have let me down. I did have to give away the Boscia to my blog partner since the color was too dark for me and better suited to her skin.

As far as favorites go, I have to pick 3Lab since it’s just amazing. They are known for their amazing skincare so when you put that together with SPF40/PA+++ and beautiful coverage you have a winner.

3Lab Perfect BB Cream

The problem is that most people won’t pay $95 for a foundation or a BB Cream even if it does do everything. I will pay that so the price doesn’t bother me. But I wanted to also pick a less expensive BB cream as a choice (plus I’m indecisive). That one was a very hard choice since most of these perform the same.

After retesting all of these the second favorite is Skin 79 Super+ Beblesh Balm. (Missha M was sosoclose to winning!)

SKIN79 VIP Gold Collection Super BB Cream

This starts out gray on me and has a slight fragrance but within minutes it melds with my skin giving me great light coverage that doesn’t melt away with the first sign of heat. At $14.69 with free shipping via Amazon it is a bargain. The SPF factor isn’t as good as the 3Lab (it’s SPF25/PA++) but the coverage is almost as good.

If you have the money and want perfection then try 3Lab, if you want to try a BB Cream and don’t know where to start then try the SKIN 79 or Missha M.

Makeup Wars favorites: 3Lab and Skin79

Now tell me – what have I skipped that needs to get added to my collection? Curious minds want to know. — Marcia

Wow, 3 Lab gets another vote on MUWars! I wish that it had worked for me (but not a good color match). Oh well! I am completely intrigued by Skin 79 and will for sure pick some up. What a great price on that one!
